Dear Trailside Families,

Dear Parents and Guardians,

You’re personally invited to join us for the conclusion of EL FACE’s Virtual Family Conference on Tuesday, November 30th at 6pm by clicking on this virtual room link (https://bit.ly/thefamilyroom21-22) as we learn about “The Skills of an LCPS Graduate”.

Our Deeper Learning Team from the LCPS Professional Learning Office will provide families with the knowledge and skills LCPS students need to develop as they prepare to graduate. They will also provide practical tips on how families can support these skills from home. Don’t miss it! See you there!

This session will conclude our celebration of Family Engagement Month in LCPS! All session recordings and asynchronous sessions are and will remain available to all LCPS families and staff through The Family Room Schoology Group (How to Join the Family Room Schoology Group Instructions)

use your student ID when prompted for the online code.

Student ID cards were printed and provided to every student. We are asking students to either wear their ID on a lanyard or to have it on their person for lunch check-out, library check-out, and arriving tardy to school. Additional features will be implemented over time in which students will need their ID cards.

We are working on rolling out the lanyards and plastic sleeves through COMPASS when we return to school after Thanksgiving. Please remind your student to bring their Student Photo ID to school on Monday.

A large benefit of the ID card is the increase of efficiency in the cafe lines!

Just six to ten miles from where we live, there are hundreds of young children going to school without a coat. The children do not have winter warm coats to keep them warm during the cold, brisk Winter months. For the past four years, TMS has partnered with Guilford Elementary school in pairing every child with either a new or gently used coat for the Winter. Please consider donating this year. We are accepting winter coats/jackets from toddler to adult medium. Please drop them off at the boxes/containers in front of the school.

We will be collecting donations from November 22nd through December 10th. All items donated will be new, gently used, and clean. We will be requesting adult, youth, and children's sizes. If you need a letter for tax purposes and donation, please email Colleen.Carlin@lcps.org

We are hoping to match our donation of 300 jackets from last year. Please consider donating if you are in the position to do so.

LINK- Food Drive: Supported by the Student Council Association

We will be hosting a nonperishable food drive from November 29-December 10th. There will be 4 donation boxes (one in each house office and one in the main office) where students can bring in donations.

Acceptable donations include the following nonperishable food items:

• canned fruits and vegetables
• canned or bagged beans
• canned soups and microwavable cups of soup
• peanut butter and jelly
• pasta and sauce
• rice
• any spices
• chicken and beef broth
• mac and cheese
• snack items
• granola bars
• cereal
• condiments, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard
• canned chicken breast and tuna fish

Ronald McDonald House Pop Tab Collection: Supported by the Student Council Association

Ronald McDonald House Flyer

The Ronald McDonald House Charities has had a longstanding program of collecting the pop tabs off of canned items, such as beverage cans, canned fruits/vegetables, canned soups, and canned pet foods, which they then recycle. The proceeds are used to support programs to ease the hardship of childhood illness on both children and their families. Pop tabs are easy to collect and store and are less messy than collecting entire cans. Oddly enough, there is more concentrated aluminum in the pop tabs than in the cans themselves (weird, but true!), so the charity can receive more money for something a lot smaller!

Please help us to collect the little pull tabs that we typically recycle or throw away. They are so valuable to the guest families at the Ronald McDonald Houses. This is an ongoing service project and Pop Tab Donation locations are in front of each house office. Holiday get-togethers are a great time to start collecting for us! We thank you in advance!

SCA Spirit Days for the 2021-2022 School Year

Did you know bottle caps can’t be recycled?

The Green Team, partnered with the PTA and Art Department, are collecting bottle caps. Starting today all the way through May (we need lots of them), we will have tubs in the cafeteria. The grade level who collects the most will win a Grade Level Party!

Our wonderful Art Department will then create a TMS Mural for all to enjoy.
